Please do not take treatment based on someones advise, your neurologist is the best person to prescribe.
Many treatment strategies for peripheral neuropathy are symptomatic.
A range of drugs that act on the central nervous system such as drugs originally intended as antidepressants and antiepileptic drugs have been found to be useful in managing neuropathic pain. Commonly used treatments include using a Tricyclic antidepressant (such as amitriptyline) and antiepileptic therapies such as gabapentin or sodium valproate. These have the advantage that besides being effective in many cases they are relatively low cost.
Other treatments that can be effective include TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and complementary therapies.
Take care!
